Gifts for him {2014}

December 17, 2014 | 1 Comment

There’s still a full week left until Christmas.

Still on the hunt for that perfect gift for your man? Your brother? Your dad?

Don’t worry – guys can be so hard to shop for, but I’ve found some great options. Make it easy on yourself by sticking with the basics – the more plaid, antlers, wood or leather – the better. Pretty much anything that makes him feel like a man is a safe bet.

Several of these finds have expedited shipping options so you’ll get your gift in time, and if you’re a member of Amazon PRIME, you can get qualifying items in two days.

So without further ado, here are my top picks for “gifts for him” this Christmas:

Gifts for him 2014 | TheMombot.com

1. Lumberjack Scented Beard Oil, $19.95
Are you married to a lumbersexual? Yeah, me too. This beard oil has the mighty aroma of fresh split cedar wood with notes of musk cologne. It’s a done deal.

2. Men’s Catchall, $37.50
Somehow I think my husband would still manage to lose everything if he had this handmade catchall, but it’s worth a shot!

3. Leather Cigar Case with Cutter, $23.97
I once bought my husband a pipe. I think it was the best thing I could have ever done for his ego. I’m pretty sure a leather cigar case will be a must-have in the next couple of years, too.

4. Handmade Leather Wallet, $52
A quality wallet is a must-have for a grown man. Once you pass the age of 12, I don’t think velcro wallets are acceptable anymore. From the packaging to the leather and stitching, this wallet screams “man.”

5. Personalized Men’s Stationery, $13
Sometimes dude send notes too. And they’ll feel much better about doing it if they have antler stationery.

6. John Hanly & Co. Irish Lambswool Scarf – Made in Ireland $39.95
If a man is going to wear a scarf, it should be plaid. And if it’s plaid, it should come from Ireland.

7. Shawl Collar Cardigan, $94.80
I’m kind of obsessed with buying my husband shawl collar cardigans. He likes them, I like them; it’s a win/win. I buy him one just about every year. I love how they marry grandpa with hipster. I mean, how cute – I mean, cool – is this guy?

8. Genuine Leather Laptop Bag, 15” Vintage & Eco-Friendly by RusticTown, $89
Just about every guy needs a laptop bag or satchel for work or school. I say don’t skimp and buy faux leather; this is one time when it’s necessary to go all the way. Real leather lasts longer, grows better with age and smells like a man.

9. Bill Murray Wooden Bottle Opener $13.50
Dudes love Bill Murray. I still haven’t figured that out, but it’s a fact. Coincidentally, a lot of them also like beer.

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

This climbing wall took half a day and cost under This climbing wall took half a day and cost under $100!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
